On Saturday, I learned that music transcends royalty and creates inclusive communities.
Despite a #workingclass background in #inner-city #London, I was brought up playing the classical #organ and #piano. I also played in brass bands, orchestras, and wind bands. I’ve been a chorister and a conductor. You’ve guessed it: I’m quite partial to #pomp and circumstance. I love pageantry that is choreographed and music that is elevated. And they say, “No one does it better than the British!” But I’ll add, “…especially when we’re inclusive.”
What a diverse array of music and performers we had displayed at the #Coronation. Whether you’re a #republican or #royalist, you have to admit that the atmospheric music, trigonometry of movements, and rhythmic crunching of steps effused a celebratory air of expectation and togetherness. Indeed, #music marks #history and the more diverse it is, the more representative and inclusive its reach.
That’s because music is a mirror of our history and #culture, a reflection of our people, our strength, and our nature. And I think King Charles got that! Music transforms us from being a spectator to a participant.
So let us celebrate the sounds that rhyme with our difference, and embrace their accents that add to our essence.
